[There's a long moment of silence. Most people don't pick up on the shifts in speech patterns when he makes them and no one actually calls him out on them unless they know exactly what he's doing, usually friends. Or the closest thing to friends he has these days.

He tries to shrug it off though, tries not to draw any more attention to it.]

Hey just because they started back then doesn't mean they ended then. [See? Casual and dismissive and he still knows a good deal more than he should about these things but he's not going to flat out tell this guy, spirit or not, when he was born.]

There were still Druids around and being trained in the 11th century. [Which isn't exactly a lie. He was around and training Cibran then. The fact that the boy never became a full Druid and that all the others had died some 300 years prior was completely irrelevant.]
